Wilson Alexander of The Advocate reports that LSU and new offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. have reached an amended three-year, $7.5M deal this week after Ole Miss was exploring interest in keeping him in Oxford.

The 32-year-old coach had been Lane Kiffin's OC at Ole Miss since 2022. Before that, Weis Jr. was the OC & QB coach at South Florida from 2020-2021, and held the same role at Florida Atlantic under Kiffin from 2019-2019.

Weis Jr. returned to Oxford last week to coach the Ole Miss offense in the playoffs.

Ole Miss will play Tulane in the first round of the playoffs on Dec. 20.

Yeah, exactly why LSU should not have let those assistants go back for the playoff game.

See that season ticket waiting list? There is belief again and optimism from the fanbase. LSU is going to be printing money with the Lane train.

32 years old making 2.5m a year to be an OC for one of the biggest college football teams. 32 years old. That's wild.

He almost makes as much as some of his 18 year old players

Dan Lanning was 32 when made DC at Georgia. Don’t forget Lane was only 31 when he was hired as head coach for the Oakland Raiders. That’s even more wild. 31 as a NFL head coach…insane. Lane was fed to the wolves. Too much, too quick.

I thought Lane ran the offense. Why pay that much for an OC?

I would make them come back now b4 they milk us on the other guys. This is ridiculous and makes us look weak. If you want to be at LSU come home now.

Did OM not already hire an OC? If so, what leverage did Weis Jr. have in bringing this to LSU to bend the knee.

Also, who is paying for the LSU coaches on loaner to OM? We (LSU) is throwing allot of cash around lately. Particularly with no increase in ticket sales that balance sheet must be on fire by now.

1. We were too nice letting them go back.
2. As soon as we heard that Ole Piss was trying to pay Charlie more money to stay, we should have told him to come home, sign the new deal and not go back. frick Keith Carter and Ole Piss for trying to take advantage of our hospitality. GLOVES ARE OFF!

This is why I was glad Ole Miss didn't allow Kiffin to continue to coach in the playoffs. We would have been left at the alter with no plan B,C, or D. I knew this crap would happen. Now, not only are they helping Ole Miss, they aren't doing work for LSU right now. Look for one or two to change their minds and stay at Ole Miss.

He better be the best in SEC for that money! Though Kiffin was the real play caller anyway? Over paid again
